OK, I'm not sure I like this but I can do it using the array function
=transpose(A64:X138)

1 5
2 6
3 7
4 8

gets transformed to

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

as a single operation.

It works fine but does require that I remember that the area I'm
looking at is an array and that I don't mess it up and remember to use
Ctl-Shift-Enter.

Thanks for the ideas folks,
Mark
